32. Fructose. I read (probably on DU) that fructose is addicting the way

that nicotine is addicting. Say you have a soft drink (soda, Snapple, etc.) with a high content of fructose, you ingest it, and your body "craves" the "high energy" feeling you get from the hypersugar as a result, making you want to purchase and consume more of the same product that gave you that initial feeling. And this is highly unconscious on your part. You don't know why but you gotta have it. And it's a vicious cycle until you go "cold turkey" and it incrementally leaves your system.
